ABOUT ME
I have been an artist for as long as I can remember. Growing up in Virginia gave me a deep appreciation for the outdoors, that appreciation further developed in my teens when I moved West to Montana. The West drew me in and I never left, finally settling in the Treasure Valley of Idaho. Graphic arts work, Tattooing and 3d CAD Drafting and Modeling were all careers before raising a family and being able to pursue my passions again. Taxidermy is an awesome merge of those passions. Art and Outdoors in one great package. I continue to learn and improve on my work by competing in various taxidermy competitions across the West this allow me to gain knowledge, see friends and talk shop. Being judged by some of the top taxidermists in the nation allows one to gain tremendous insight on improving skills, learning new ones and pushing the boundaries of taxidermy and art.

What Sets My Work Apart
My Shop is run out of my home in Middleton Idaho. I strive to produce exceptional works of art for my customers, my areas of specialty include North American Big Game, Artistic Metalized European Skulls and Fish Replicas of exceptional quality and craftsmanship. My shop is not a production Taxidermy shop where 2 to 3 pieces a day are being put together to keep the machine fed. I am an artist who puts his all into every stage of the mount, the skin, the form, the mounting and the finish work. This way I can be assured every stage is done to my exacting standards and your mount is nothing short of stunning.

Metalized European Mounts - Artistic, hand applied metal finishes and patinas to create stunning one of a kind works
